Samsung S8

heard other day the samsung S8 is due out within next couple of months

i've got an S7 edge and it's in perfect condition not one scratch so i'm hopefully gonna sell that and use the money to buy an S8 which they reckon is gonna market for £680 to £750 ish but hopefully i'll get somewhere a lot cheaper from non-major retailer.

i think the camera is really strong a 30 so thats main reason for changing but also to not make a big loss on the S7 and sell while its in good condition and still a good phone

anyone else thinking of getting one x

Ive got s6. If s8 is going to come out soon its not really worth ugrading to s7 which is what I wanted.

I want to purchase it considering I have the Note 5 at the moment.

two friends from uni are planning to get one but i don't really upgrade to newer phones unless there's something wrong with what i currently have. they're super excited for it though

Samsungs are probably better than iphones in my personal opinion

who even uses samsungs anymore.. you're better off getting an iphone trust me.

Yes the battery issue was bad but seems they know what caused it and how to avoid it. It's not like iphones haven't had issues maybe not as bad but still.

I'm due an upgrade in about August and need one desperately. I have an s6 but the s6s are not waterproof and think I got water in it which has made it a bit temperamental at times plus the s6 doesn't have an sd card slot. Depends on the deals really. I got my s6 just before the s7 came out. Vodafone loyality services gave me a really good deal so hopefully they will again.

The battery is still bad.. the iPhone never really had any big problematic issues unlike Samsung which not only had bad battery to begin with but bad camera quality, not to mention the apps which are so hard to function.. To change a whattsap profile picture you have to go all the way in settings, I mean if you have technical insight then it's probably easy but for new users? That is bullshit.. lol. Yet iPhone can be done directly within the apps settings. Much simpler in so many ways and for so many functions. x

There were plenty of issues with past and current iPhone releases

Not sure about the camera comment as I'm pretty sure the S7 is rated better for camera vs iPhone 7? unless your reference 'to begin with' is aimed at very old phones?

Apps are the same on android and iOS, if one has a button to change the profile picture in a different location then that's down to the app developer and nothing to do with either Samsung or Android. Again though, even taking that into consideration one app isn't enough to justify one superior to the other lol, especially for something once you've learned to do it's common sense.

If I was going to Android I would probably get a Google Pixel. At least I wouldn't have to deal with the mess Samsung adds to Android itself.
